Motherboard can you tell me what this means? also the diagnosis from nexicore stated that the system board was factory defected, could that have been what began the problems? you have a dead short in electrical most probably everything is stuffed thank you for your help

Do not have original message but i believe if you are the one i messaged earlier smoke etc from m/board you will need to get a new motherboard and ensure you connect all power cables correctly as the boards are finicky about power fittings

Explanation: Virtual mode is one of the different modes that the processor can run in. The system is reporting an error when testing this mode.
Diagnosis: There is a problem related to the processor or motherboard. Note that this doesn't mean that the processor is necessarily dead, since the system won't boot at all with a dead processor.

Not knowing the price of either your processor or the board it is hard to say what to do for the best

1.General
POST (initial system boot) BEEP Codes
If you do not know the BIOS manufacturer, the following
will be the general Beep codes:
• 1 Long and 1 Short Beep ?Bad Motherboard• 1
Short Beep and nothing else happens ?Disk Drive/Video Related
Problems• 1 Long and 2 Short Beeps ?Bad Video Card• 1
Continuous Beep or Non-stop short Beeps ?Bad Power Supply• 3
Short Beeps - Bad Memory2.American
Megatrends Inc. (AMI) BEEP Codes•
1 Beep - Memory refresh timer error.Reseat the memory, or replace
with known good modules.• 2 Beeps - Parity ErrorReseat the
memory, or replace with known good modules.• 3 Beeps - Main
memory read / write test error.Reseat the memory, or replace with
known good modules.• 4 Beeps - Motherboard timer not
operational• 5 Beeps - Processor Errors• 6 Beeps -
Keyboard controller BAT test error.• 7 Beeps - General
exception error.• 8 Beeps - Display memory error.If the
system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video
adapter. If the video adapter is an integrated part of the system
board, the board may be faulty.• 9 Beeps - ROM checksum error•
10 Beeps - CMOS shutdown register read/write error• 11 Beeps -
Cache Memory Bad
Beeps 4-7, 9-11 Fatal error indicating a serious
problem with the system. Consult your system manufacturer.
Before declaring the motherboard beyond all hope,
eliminate the possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in
card. Remove all expansion cards except the video adapter.?If the
beep codes are generated even when all other expansion cards are
absent, the motherboard has a serious problem. Consult your system
manufacturer.?If the beep codes are not generated when all other
expansion cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the
malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a time
until the problem happens again. This will reveal the malfunctioning
add-in card.3.Award
Bios BEEP Codes•
1 Long Beep:
Memory problemExplanation: There is a failure of some sort
related to the system memory.Diagnosis: The first bank of memory
probably has a failure of some sort; this is usually just a physical
problem such as an incorrectly inserted module, but may also mean a
bad memory chip in a module. It is possible that there is a failure
related to the motherboard or a system device as well.
• 1 Long, then 2 Short Beeps: Video errorExplanation:
The BIOS is unable to access the video system in order to write any
error messages to the screen. Diagnosis: This is usually caused
by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. It
can also be a motherboard issue.
• 1 Long, then 3 Short Beeps: Video errorExplanation:
The BIOS is unable to access the video system in order to write any
error messages to the screen. Diagnosis: This is usually caused
by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. It
can also be a motherboard issue.
• Continuous Beeping: Memory or video
problemExplanation: The system is producing constant beeping in
no specific pattern, or a fast "ringing" sound. Diagnosis:
This is usually caused by a problem with the system memory, or
possibly the video card. The memory is more likely--the system
complains long and loud if it can't find any usable memory, as there
is no way to even start the boot process when this is the case. The
motherboard itself could also be the problem.
• Other Beep CodesExplanation: You have
encountered an Award BIOS beep code I do not have documented.
Diagnosis: Award says that any beep patterns other than "one
long followed by two short" are likely problems with the system
memory. However, of late they have started adding other beep codes to
their systems as well.
4.Phoenix
BEEP Codes•
1-1-3 Explanation: Your computer can't read the configuration
information stored in the CMOS. Diagnosis: Replace the
motherboard.
• 1-1-4Explanation: Your BIOS needs to be
replaced.Diagnosis: Got to your motherboard manufacturers web
site and download the new Bios.
• 1-2-1Explanation: You have a bad timer chip on
the motherboard.Diagnosis: Replace the motherboard.
• 1-2-2 or 1-2-3 or 1-3-1 or 1-3-3 or 1-3-4 or 1-4-1
Explanation: Motherboards is bad.Diagnosis: Replace the
motherboard.
• 1-4-2Explanation: Some of your memory is
bad.Diagnosis: Go to Basic Trouble Shooting
• 1-3-1Explanation: Motherboards is
bad.Diagnosis: Replace the motherboard.
• 2-_-_ Any combination of beeps after
twoExplanation: Some of your memory might be bad.Diagnosis:
Go to Basic Trouble Shooting
• 3-1-_Explanation: One of the chips on your
motherboard is broken.Diagnosis: Replace the motherboard.
• 3-2-4Explanation: Keyboard controller
failure.Diagnosis:
• 3-3-4Explanation: Your computer can't find the
video card.Diagnosis: Is it there? If so, try swapping it with
another one and see if it works.
• 3-4-_Explanation: Your video card isn't
working.Diagnosis: Replace Video Card.

Easiest fix for this is to simply remove the CMOS battery, but there also should be a configurable jumper on the board, in the same area as the battery, that can be set so as to return the board to Factory settings.

return it, it under warranty.. dont loss your money.. or change another board ther are a lot of board.... all motherboard 1 year warranty if you found some problem or factory defect return it dont broke the warranty..

That message will appear when there is no boot record found on any device the system board tries to boot from. This probably means that your hard drive is not being detected, does not have a bootable copy of Windows on it, or is defective.

Make sure the drive is correctly listed in the motherboard setup screens. If it is not, check for proper power and data cable connections at both the drive and main board. If the drive is being correctly identified, you may need to reinstall your operating system.

You might have a problem with one of your componnents on the board. Please check LEDs on your Diagnostic Panel. It might point you to a defective componnet. It should also have LEDs beside componnents on the board. Try to replce defective componnet. Here is a list of defective componnets that would cause the above problem.
1. Power Supply
2. Defective cooling fan
3. Defective CPU
4.Heatsink is not in place
5. System board
6. Broken USB connector

Sure hate saying this but your dell 4400 board is the trouble.
Just finished reading a bunch of post. Double check Dell's web site too. No lights lit on the back of the PC means no power & the green led you see on the board is telling you that the board has power.
Seems your not the only person with the same problem as with other 4400 owners.
One user called dell & stated the problem he had, (just like your problem), to the letter. Dell admitted there is a problem with the 4400's. mainboard. Dell does not go out & replace every board. They, like every company wait till someone has this type of problem & contacts the Mfg. Your 4400 was made back in what 2003 - 2004. If Dell still supplies your board the best they'll do is sell you a refurbished board.
I think your better off buying a new board & fitting into your Dell case. You can try to find a board that will run your current componets.
This is dell's web site link for the dell 4400.

I see you state that your SATA drives are not beeing found by the system. The SATA controller is defective if your bios does not see a connected SATA drive connected to the SATA port & the SATA power connector is also correct & connected. There is not a fix for your issue. I checked every bios version for your P4S800D-X. No SATA fix through Asus. There is only one way to get your board fixed. You must call Asus tech at 812-282-2787 M-F Eastern time. Please have handy the set of numbers found on a white sticker on the serial port. Asus will need this number. Keep your system together as the tech will want you to do some checks before he will issue you a case number. Keep in mind Asus warrants boards for three years. Asus also can not repair your board's defective SATA controller. They will test it & replace board with another. After receiving a case number you'll have to call CA for a RMA No#. RMA dept, will send you a RMA to your email address along with instructions on how to send the board back to Asus.
